Now that that's said, this is blatant self-promotion. I currently have two books in print and in e-book format. Some bookstores carry them but even if they don't you can go into any bookstore in the world and request them and they will order them for you.
If you would rather shop from the privacy of your own home while wearing your PJ's, there are several sites that carry my books. Just click on one of the tabs at the top of this page and you will be redirected to the site.
Amazon is having a sale right now and you can get both books for less than $25. That's a pretty good deal considering if you bought them directly from me, it would cost you $26.
If you would like an autographed copy, contact me at rkavery@rkaverybooks.com and we can work out some type of arrangement.
In case you are not familiar with my books, the first one, Be Careful What You Wish For, starts out as a true story. I was kidnapped from a beach when I was 25 months old. My story, thank goodness, had a happy ending but I wanted to write a book about what may of happened if it didn't.
Here are the back cover blurbs for both of my books. It is a series and the third book is at the publisher as I write this. It is due out mid-2014 so stay tuned.
Bea Miller is a penniless widow, living a meager existence among the town’s residents with her four young, rambunctious boys. Her entire life, she wished and dreamed of having a little girl of her own. When everything she did to have one of her own failed, Bea takes matters into her own hands and is haunted and reminded of the chilling words of her father, whom she can’t seem to escape no matter how hard she tries.
Through the handwritten journal of Bea Miller, she takes you on a journey into the mind of an individual who believes you can make your own wishes come true—at any expense; and sadly, at the expense of others.
Here is the book trailer if you are more of visual person:
Devious. Conniving. Deceitful. Insidious. David Miller thought he knew his mother. He thought kidnapping three children was the most appalling and horrendous thing any human being could do and she couldn’t possibly do anything more monstrous. He thought there was nothing else she could do or say that would astound him. How wrong he was.
After Beatrice Miller, David’s serial kidnapping mother, is sentenced to thirty years, David Miller moves to Phoenix, Arizona and with the help of a trust fund and an old friend, starts the Never Give Up foundation, an organization dedicated to finding and returning exploited and missing children safely to their families. With all the bad things his mother had done, David feels it is his unspoken duty to do something worthwhile.
Hesitant at first but after reading his mothers journal, David is determined to mend their dysfunctional relationship. Every time David visits Bea in prison, she comes across as deranged insisting people are trying to kill her. She ends each brief encounter with a chilling statement, “Remember David, things aren’t always what they seem.” What does that mean?
As word about the foundation spreads, the services the Never Give Up are requested time-and-time-again to help where other agencies have failed. That is, until the police come knocking on David’s door and arrest him, taking him back to Bunting Valley, North Dakota, for the murder of a newborn baby boy.
Forced to shut down Never Give Up, David is amazed at how quickly the entire world turns their back on him. The trial begins and his mother’s testimony is the only thing that can save him. Telling the truth is as foreign to Beatrice Miller as giving up drugs is to an addict. As everyone in the courtroom holds their breath, you will too…remember, things are not always what they seem.
Again, here is the link for the book trailer:
My third book, Reflection in a Mirror, is not a story about the Miller family, but several of the characters from the first two books make an appearance. And I can say without them, book number three would not have happened. I don't have the cover yet but should be getting it any day now. I will make sure to share it when I do.
REFLECTION IN THE MIRROR
Identical twins, Clarissa and Marissa Wagner have more in common than their looks; they share a connection that allows them to know what each other is thinking and to feel each other’s pain; a connection that has astounded doctors, teachers and other professionals their whole life.
A much anticipated three day weekend turns tragic when Marissa Wagner never makes it home from school. Each time Clarissa looks in a mirror, she is reminded that Marissa is gone and feels like the other half of her soul is missing.
June Wagner, their single mother has put her life on hold to raise the twins. She is distraught over her missing daughter and butts heads with the Sergeant assigned to the case. Why aren’t they doing more? What is taking so long? Why is he so good looking?
Hours turn to days, days turn to weeks and weeks turn to months as they attempt to find a witness or a clue that might guide them to where she is. Although a long shot, the only hope is the visions and feelings a clairvoyant Clarissa Wagner has. With the help of David Miller, Rich Butler and “Never Give Up” they piece together clues that shock even the most skeptical. Along the journey, David glances in the mirror and realizes he is no longer alone.
When you look in the mirror, what is staring back at you?
